Mercedes Sl500 2001 Amg on 2040-cars
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
|
Let me introduce you to Max. My Mercedes SL500 2001 AMG 2 door Convertible which i am reluctantly putting up For Sale due to relocating to Ireland. This low Millage (61500miles) Mercedes Sports car is becoming a Mercedes Classic with many people starting to view them as collectors if in great condition. I bought this car last year and would love to keep it as absolutely love driving it, the 5.0V8 engine is incredibly power full and incredibly smooth. I have carried out some repairs to it since i bought it which are common on these models:
1) Alternator and Serpentine Belt & Idler & pulley replaced 2) Engine & Gearbox serviced with new oil & filters 3) Convertible roof Hydraulic cylinders removed and replaced as they are common for leakage 4) Repaired brocken vacuum pipes in central locking system 5) Replaced Broken center dash Air vent controls The car comes as Standard with the AMG 2 Kit, that includes the AMG Alloys Bumpers & side skirts. The seats are in great condition with no rips or tears, the drivers seat has some light wear, cracking of the leather from getting in and out but the cushions and bolsters have not lost their original shape. It comes with factory extras such as Xenon Head lights, Heated seats, Auto dimming Mirrors, Garage/Gate opening/close function and factory built in phone kit, although the phone system is obviously very out of date in regards to technology. Comes with factory Hard top which is also in very good condition. Comes with OEM windscreen Sun Deflector and aftermarket canvas car cover The paintwork is in great condition with no signs of paintwork discolour and no Lacquer deterioration, there are a few little light scratches and a few little stone chips but no more than you could expect on 13 year old car. the Vin number is WDBFA68F61F195960. The Carfax is clean and on inspection shows that earlier in its life there was significant repairs carried out by Mercedes while still under warranty, for example a new gearbox and ECU with remapping and Diagnostics completed showing the repairs to be successful. I have put approximately 4000miles on this vehicle since buying it last year, the car fax shows prior to that it has had 3 private owners and then shows 3 commercial owners, in other word dealers and at one point an Liquidation company, i assumed a previous owner had gone bankrupt and the car was taken as an asset. The tyres are in good shape however are probably about 3/4 worn, if i was to keep it i would have been aiming to change then in approximately another 5000mile time. Brakes are the same, so unless you plan on doing high miles you wont have to do anything but drive and enjoy this amazing car for another year or 2. I am asking $16950.00 for this car as it is my pride and joy and is ready to drive with no expense other than re registering in your name. It is a great car and who ever is lucky enough to own it next will enjoy every minute of it. |

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details
Mon, 06 May 2013Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
